In GNU Emacs 19.22.1 of Sat Apr  2 1994 on brauer (berkeley-unix)

Create two windows in the same frame, one of them containing an empty
buffer.  In the empty buffer, type "C-x -" to 
shrink-window-if-larger-than-buffer.  The window will shrink to one line
(plus a mode line); normally, window-min-height, which is 4 by default,
does not allow such windows.

This could be fixed by shrinking the window only to window-min-height;
it could also be left unchanged but documented.  I found the bug by
accident, and was surprised to see a one-line window.
